Conditional Random Fields with Lasso and Its Application to the Classification of Relationships Between Plant Genes Expression Level and Fungus Genes

Carson Taylor Hall Rm 322

The classification problem of Gene Expression Level is a major research area in both statistics and gene expression analysis. There are several classical methods to solve the classification problem, but classical models require that the observations in the dataset should fit the assumption of independence. This assumption is not suitable for the gene expression analysis. To solve the classification problem of Gene Expression Level data, the Conditional Random Field (CRF) is introduced. Moreover, Least Absolute Selection and Shrinkage Operator (LASSO) penalty, a dimensional reduction method, is introduced to improve the CRF model.
